Newly added Music section?
Hi, all!
I am new to minimserver and am using it in its default setting for now. While I notice that it seems to be much lighter and speedier than the Logitech media server that I have been using (and still using), one thing that I appreciate on the LMS is that there is a category known as "New Music", where the most recently added albums (number of which can be set by user) are listed. I found that useful because I have a pretty large library (2TB+) and I often want to access the stuff that I just added. I see that Minim has quite a few custom settings, but I don't quite "get" the instructions on line. Is there a way to have a "New Music" section in Minim? Thanks. |

RE: Newly added Music section?
I have used a custom field to tag music I've just added as "Recent".
I chose to do it this way as I can control what gets tagged as recent as when it stops being tagged as recent. I found auto facilities would show things where I have changed the tags or re-ripped for some reason as part of the New list when really I didn't want them there. Also sometimes I want to keep some albums on the recent list for longer than usual. So a different approach to the same issue.

It provides 5 custom tag fields (Custom1 to Custom5). I can only assume that custom or user created spare fields are part of the tagging standard. I use a three of these custom fields for 1) tagging as Recent, 2) The Dynamic Range of the Album and 3) the date I added it. In MinimWatch I then set the Custom tags as indexTags so they are available to the control point, in my case either Kinsky or Kazoo. I can then go into the control point and see Custom1 as one of the high level indexes, selecting it gives me Recent and [unknown] as values. [unknown] are the albums not tagged as recent. As I said previously, I choose to do it this way as it allows me to decide what is Recent or not rather than a program using date added or changed or whatever. I normally flag new rips as Recent and keep them as that until I feel I know the album. Some drop off the recent list faster than others. I also often play the Recent set of albums on random play. I think most tagging programs provide you with custom fields or allow you to create them. I always prefer to use tagging rather than moving albums in and out of folders on disk. Hope this helps. Let me know if you need further info.
